Review of The White Dragon (2004) by Magali G — 13 Jul 2009

This is... its's... so... difficult to rate it and describe it and decide whether you like it or not... It's just an odd movie. But not "Eraserhead" odd, just odd in the sense that the movie ends and you don't know what did it try to be.

It starts with some great fighting scenes, with people flying and those magnificent swords sounds, and you think "oh! it's going to be an awesome kung-fu film!", but then you see some really stupid jokes and you are like "what the hell is going on here?" And just when it comes the moment in which you say "all right, apparently, I'm watching a comedy", a very moving story emerges and it actually touches you! And at the same time it's a pretty romantic film.

I don't know. I liked it. In spite of its ambition of trying to embrace so many genres and ends up not fullfilling any; I thought it was a nice movie. The story was nice, the fighting scenes were really good, the music is fantastic, and in general it's a very entertaining movie.
